past and present clients we were able to discern that "Successful
People" all seemed to have the following qualities:

• Put a premium on staying healthy and fit.

• Had a positive outlook or mental attitude
about life

• Had a high energy level

• Had an understanding of—and knew how to
control their thought process

• Were intelligent in thought—thought
analytically, accurately, carefully and critically

• Applied their faith in their daily living

• Were loyal to others—and others in turn were
loyal to them

• Had mental congruence with others to help them
reach a common goal

• Had a high appreciation for life

• Had a definite purpose, pleasant personality
and took initiative at all times

• Knew how to budget their time

• Used written plans to more effectively reach
their financial and life goals

• Always seemed to be able to gain the
cooperation of others

• Always responded positively to adversity that
came their way

• Had self-discipline at all times

• Had enthusiasm that flowed through their body
and was picked up by others

They all
seemed to have control over their physical well-being and thought process and
were good analytical thinkers and applied their faith consistently on a daily
basis.

Why You
Should Be Concerned About the Qualities of Successful People?

Positive qualities of successful people can
change your life for the better if you understand and apply them for your own
benefit.

Positive qualities that you develop can make your life better for not
only you, but all whom you come into contact with.

If you lack many of the qualities or are weak in
certain areas—the good news is that many of the qualities can be cultivated and
enhanced by you over time if you have the proper mental focus and discipline
and make the decision to change!

You can improve your health and attitude by
developing regular exercise programs. You can improve your analytical and
thinking skills by utilizing proven techniques.

By applying these positive qualities of
successful people on a consistent basis—you can't help but to improve your life
for the better.

You will be in position to totally take back your life and
attain many of your goals that you may have been reluctant to pursue due to
fear or lack of knowledge.

You can
increase your faith and apply your faith in your daily living!

You can determine your purpose for living,
transform your personality to a pleasant one and develop personal initiative!

You can allocate your time more effectively and use written goals to help you
reach your financial and other goals more effectively!

You can make better use of your imagination by
controlling your mind and allotting a designated period in each day for
meditation and your imaginative thoughts will improve!

You can give—or do more
than is expected from you by mentally making the decision to do so and then
actually doing it!

You can gain the cooperation of others by
improving on all of the qualities above—and developing a cooperative spirit!

You can make the decision to respond favorably to adversity by mentally making
the decision to do so on a constant basis!

You can
increase your self-discipline by mentally focusing and doing what is necessary!

If you do all of the above, enthusiasm will begin
to flow from your body because you will now believe in yourself so strongly
that your enthusiasm for life will come out.

All of the above require you actually “doing”
what is required and takes mental, physical and spiritual strength—however you
have all that it takes inside of you.

The question is are you going to make the
“decision” to change—and actually change—or are you just kidding yourself!

Key
Positive Qualities of Successful People

Most Successful People have a high level of
faith and apply their faith consistently in their daily living.

Faith with action can lead to successful living.

With faith and action you start pursuing your dreams with the real expectation
and belief that your dreams will be reached!

Faith with action (proper preparation) must (for optimal results) be done daily so
that it will build to an even higher level.

You must realize that you may have to take risks
if you want to reach your desired goals. You can reduce your risks by doing the
proper planning on the front end.

Although
we all suffer from fear to a certain degree, don’t let it be the driving force
in your life.

Fear can help you in many cases by helping you
raise your guard and study a situation more carefully before making a decision
or taking action.

After that fear should have no place in your mental thought
process! Once you stop and thoroughly analyze your situation—you may find that
your financial fears in many cases are unwarranted.

For those who are truly looking to succeed
financially (and in life) you must control your thoughts and goals with
absolute faith by creating a written plan of action to help you reach your
goal(s).

You must have the means (finances) to actually
reach your goals and put a solid action plan together that will give you the vision and guidance that you need to meet
your future goals more effectively.

Your mental attitude will determine if faith or
fear will rule your life.

You are in total control of your mind—and if you have
cultivated true faith and action—over time you will have the courage to move
forward and overcome any obstacle in your way.

What It
All Means

The more positive characteristics that you have
the more dynamic a personality you will have generally.

If you are particularly strong in just a few
areas you can still be successful.

Your goal—however should be to improve as a
person to the highest level possible.

Therefore, improving and enhancing areas
where you are weak will help you get to where you need or want to be.

You must do a complete and honest
self-assessment in your own mind to see where you can improve at—and then take
the initiative to get started without procrastination.

The sooner you get
started—the sooner you will see results.

Keep in mind that those who were unsuccessful,
also had certain (negative) qualities, however that should not be important to
you.

If you concentrate on and master the positive qualities listed above, the
negative qualities will be defeated and not apply to you—if you do it at a high
level and truly apply the positive qualities to your life on a daily basis.

Use the
following poem to your benefit so that you can take action—now!

Action or
Inaction of “Some People”

Some People—talk and no action

Some People—talk and action

Some People—no talk and no action

Some People—simply reaction

Some People—no talk and action

Some People—no talk and plenty of action

Some People—plenty of talk and plenty of action

Which one of the above represents you?

Which one of the above do you intend to do?

Make the best choice—to make your dreams come
true!

Think Big—Act Big—you were born a winner!

Be a “knower and a believer” in regards to your financial future by using written goal setting methods so that you can attain
your future goals and improve the living conditions for you and your family.

Final
Words of Encouragement

We end this discussion with the following axiom
that has the potential to change your financial future:
